Hemisection with Autogenous Bone Graft for Treatment of Advanced Periodontic Endo Lesions- A case Report.

Dentistry

Hemisection of a mandibular molar may be a suitable treatment option when the decay or resorption is restricted to one root and the other root is healthy. This article describes a simple procedure for hemisection in mandibular molar by vertical cut method and its subsequent restoration. A case with a complaint of pain and pus discharge in 46 and patient had increased desire to maintain the natural dentition. The decision was taken to hemi-sect the distal root, as mesial bone and furcation bone was relatively unaffected. The key to long term success appear to be thorough diagnosis, selection of patients with good oral hygiene and careful surgical and restorative management.
